    Default Enzo's vs. Lead

    My Mojo came stock with 900's in the rear and even though I can surf all day ropeless I'm thinking about upgrading. I was considering upgrading to 1450's (Enzos) but I really don't like the idea of losing all that storage space under the seats. I'm seriously considering placing a couple hundred pounds of lead or steel weights in front of each stock bag. Would this take up any less space under the seats than the Enzos? I know I'd never get to 1450 on each side but it might be a good compromise. Also, do you think I'd notice 400#'s of lead when I'm ripping around or trailering? Never used the stuff so any advice is appreciated.

    You can add lead under the existing 900lb bags and lose NO additional space. You can easily put 200lbs under the bags on each side. Then if you need more then add a couple of hundred more in front of the bags. You will lose very little space. Most of your lead bags are less than 2 inches thick.

    You might feel the weight trailering. Not really on water just cruising. That's like 2 extra people.

    I just added 500 lbs of lead weight from wakeballast.com and I have the 1100 rear bags in my 2016 Mojo. I put 300 lbs under the port side rear bag and the other 200 in the nose on the port side under the bag up front and lost zero storage space. The bags do not take up any space, they lay almost completely flat...thumbs up on them!!

    I got 500lbs this year and love it. Right now I have 150 placed underneath passenger seat starboard side and 350 on port side. This way when I Wakeboard I can move 100 lbs to the other side easily

    Default Enzo's vs. Lead

    I have about 600lb of lead in my boat mostly towards the bow of the boat. It takes up very little space, but I do notice it on the trailer, quite a bit more tongue weight and it can make getting the boat on and off the trailer a bit more challenging cause it rides the nose roller a lot more than with out the bow weight. I wouldn't say it's a problem but rather just something to be aware of when taking the boat on and off the trailer.

    I was thinking 300-400 lbs split evenly under both rear ballast bags in our 16 Mojo

    I would never do this but I have the older LSV and can get a darn good wave with water ballast, people and a sukg8. If I had a Mojo I would probably consider it though. Then again, I trailer about 45 min. each way to the lake. If that is not a consideration then why not?
